Ingredients

• For the Steak:
• 1 pound boneless sirloin steak, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• For the Shrimp:
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• For the Sauce:
• 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Plus:
• 1 pound penne pasta

Preparation Method

Start by bringing a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water in case you need to adjust the sauce's consistency later.

While the pasta cooks, prepare the steak and shrimp. In a bowl, toss the sliced steak with olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and black pepper, ensuring each piece is well-coated. In a separate bowl, combine the shrimp with its seasoning blend and olive oil.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak slices in batches, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes until browned but tender. Remove the steak and set it aside. Using the same skillet, sauté the shrimp until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set the shrimp aside with the steak.

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the condensed cream of mushroom soup and milk, stirring until smooth. Allow the sauce to warm up before adding the Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy. If the sauce feels too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, ensuring every piece is coated with the creamy Alfredo mixture. Gently fold in the steak and shrimp, letting the flavors meld for a couple of minutes over low heat.

Tips and Conclusion

For an extra kick, sprinkle a pinch of Cajun seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes over the final dish. To elevate the presentation, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or a handful of grated Parmesan. Pair with a side of garlic bread and a crisp green salad for a complete, restaurant-quality meal at home.
